Abstract
A telematics unit for use in a vehicle. The telematics unit comprises a cellular radio transceiver operable for placing an emergency call in a wireless access network, a location data generating unit operable to determine and output enhanced location information about the vehicle location, a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application builds an emergency call origination message, including at least some of the enhanced location information and transmits the emergency call origination message via the cellular radio transceiver.
